《小妇人》第30期第6章艾米遇到麻烦(2)

　　Meg and Beth said 'No'at once， but Amy said nothing．
　　'Amy，you've got it，'said Jo．
　　'No，I haven't，' said Amy．
　　'That's a lie！'said Jo．'Tell me the truth， or I'll make you！'
　　'Do what you like，'said Amy．'You'll never see your stupid book again，because I burned it！'
　　Jo's face went white．'What！ But I worked so hard writing my stories！'
　　'I said I'd make you sorry，and I have！'said Amy．
　　Jo jumped at Amy and shook her shoulders．'You wicked，wicked girl！'cried Jo．'I'll never，ever forgive you！'And she ran out of the room．
　　Mrs March came home and heard the story．
　　'Oh， how could you do that， Amy？'she said．'That was Jo's book of stories．She wrote them all herself，and was hoping to make them good enough to print．'
　　Slowly，Amy began to understand the terrible thing she had done， and started to cry．Later，when Jo appeared for tea，Amy begged her sister to forgive her．

麦格和白丝立即说：“没拿，”可艾米没作声。
　　“艾米，是你拿了，”琼说。
　　“不，我没拿，”艾米答道。
　　“你说谎！”琼说，“告诉我实话，否则我会逼你讲！”
　　“随你的便，”艾米说，“你永远也不会见到那个讨厌的笔记本了，因为我把它烧了！”
　　琼的脸变得惨白。“什么？我那么努力地写我的故事！”
　　“我说过会让你后悔，现在我做到了！”艾米说。
　　琼跳过来摇晃着艾米的肩膀，“你这个可恶透顶的孩子！”琼喊着，“我永远永远也不会饶恕你的！”然后她就跑出了房间。
　　马奇太太回到家里听说了这件事。
　　“噢，你怎么能那样做呢，艾米？”她说。“那是琼的故事书。那些都是她自己写的，她期望有一天把它们修改好了能够去发表的。”
　　慢慢地，艾米开始意识到她所做的事情有多糟，她开始哭起来。后来，当琼来喝茶的时候，艾米请求她姐姐原谅她。
